Background Perinatal asphyxia is a serious medical condition in which there is a lack of oxygen or blood flow during or even after the labor process. Objective This study aimed to study the serum blood levels of lactate, vitamin D, and count of nucleated red blood cells per 100 white blood cells (nRBC/100 WBC) as early biological predictors of hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after perinatal asphyxia. Patients and methods A case–control study was conducted on 20 neonates with HIE, comprising the cases, and another 20 neonates, representing the control group, with their gestational age, sex, and weight matched, admitted to a …

Objective To evaluate mean platelet volume (MPV) as a prognostic factor in neonatal respiratory distress. Background Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. MPV is an indicator of platelet function. It may be considered a risk factor for the development of RDS. Patients and methods This was a case–control study conducted on 50 (21 males and 29 females) Egyptian preterm neonates. Of them, 25 were previously diagnosed as having RDS, as a patient group, and 25 were apparently healthy age-matched and sex-matched neonates as a control group. All of them were subjected …
Study Of Short-Term Outcome Of Early And Late Cord Clamping In Full-Term Newborns, Aymen M. Abdel-Qader, Dalia M. Ellahony, Maha A. Tawfik
Study Of Short-Term Outcome Of Early And Late Cord Clamping In Full-Term Newborns, Aymen M. Abdel-Qader, Dalia M. Ellahony, Maha A. Tawfik
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objective The aim was to assess short-term outcome of both early and late cord clamping in full-term newborns. Background Delaying clamping of the umbilical cord for at least 2 min after birth consistently improved both the short-term and long-term hematologic and iron status of full-term infants. Participants and methods This is a case–control study that was conducted on 100 Egyptian full-term neonates (47 males and 53 females), involving 50 newborns with early clamping of the cord less than or equal to 1 min as group I and 50 newborns with late clamping of the cord more than 1 min without …
Effect Of An Early Oral Stimulation Program On Oral Feeding In Preterm Neonates, Ghada M. El Mashad, Hanan M. El Saied, Nadia A. Mekawy
Effect Of An Early Oral Stimulation Program On Oral Feeding In Preterm Neonates, Ghada M. El Mashad, Hanan M. El Saied, Nadia A. Mekawy
Menoufia Medical Journal
Objective To evaluate the effect of prefeeding oral stimulation program on feeding performance, weight gain, and length of hospital stay of preterm infants in neonatal ICUs. Background Previous research has declared that poor oral-motor developments in premature infants are common. So, most of the preterm infants require individualized therapy. Early intervention of oral-motor management on feeding pattern improves the outcome. Patients and methods To reach the goal of this research, a case–control study was conducted. A total of 50 preterm infants were divided into two groups: (a) interventional group (25 preterm infants), which received prefeeding oral stimulation program by stimulation …

Objective To evaluate the glutathione S-transferase genetic variants (GSTM1 and GSTT1) in pregnant mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the degree of glycemic control. Background Previous research has declared that GDM affects both the mother and the baby during pregnancy and in the long term. Patients and methods To reach the goal of this research, a case–control study was designed. A total of 80 pregnant women were divided into two groups: (a) patients group (40 patients had GDM during the third trimester of pregnancy) and (b) control group (40 apparently healthy pregnant women). All participants were subjected to detailed …
